Listen "Quant Culture"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textHow do you build a quant culture?Quants have very different needs from business professionals (specifically finance professionals at a bank). Quants operate on a high level of science and art all at the same time. Access to high quality academic and professional resources are needed to build and validate models properly. Mentors (senior quants) are needed to teach junior quants technical skills, business information, and how to operate in the firm (managing corporate politics). Time needs to be flexible as there is a good portion of the job that requires creative thought to solve problems and review work. Having a flat structure that promotes communication across all levels is also important to develop an open team mentality.There is no perfect quant culture however time should be spent by organizations to create a positive environment where their quants can learn and grow.Support the show
